I worked for the US Government in West Berlin for 11yrs as a Photojournalist, I returned home in 1991 and continued in photography until 2001.
I hope all who visit this site enjoy the photographs and appreciate what can be achieved using various equipment, a mix of photos taken with Full frame, APS-C and Micro 4/3rd cameras.
I must add that all images on this site are small JPEG so do not reflect the true quality of the original Raw conversions.

Abingdon airshow

We went to the Abingdon Air and Country show on Sunday, it was a really well attended event and despite the ongoing threat of rain, we managed to survive until the end of the day before it did rain.

It was a good show and the flying display was very good with many older prop aircraft, all was going well until there was an unfortunate incident resulting in one of the display pilots having to make a forced landing resulting in injury, it took a good hour for the incident to be resolved with the injured pilot being transported to hospital (hopefully he makes a swift and full recovery).

The flying continued but some booked to attend were not able to make it however those present delivered a superb show and provided entertainment for all the family.
